We analyse whether global value chains (GVCs) reduce trade barriers in the agricultural and food sectors as they affect lobbying and government incentives.
Agricultural and food policies are increasingly being tasked with doing more to improve the nutritional status of low-income populations, especially reductions in child stunting.

Many policies and programs aim to bring nutritious diets within reach of the poor.
Identifying policy-relevant information gaps, summarizing recent research that tries to fill these gaps, and the five challenges for researchers, policymakers, and practitioners in reducing FLW.
The essential first steps of addressing the problem of food loss are measuring the loss, identifying where in the food system it occurs, and developing effective policies to mitigate it along the value chain.
